Jett Williams Offers Multi-Category Potential, but is He Worth Stashing Amid Slump?
Milwaukee Brewers infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams continues to scuffle at Triple-A, but has provided glimpses of what's possible over the last three games. The Brewers' third-ranked prospect has shown some power after cracking a double in Wednesday's contest, he's stolen three bases, scored five runs, and posted a 3:5 BB:K over that three-game span. He even had a two-homer game as recently as June 16. Unfortunately, he's hitting just .163 in 26 games since May 22 with an elevated 25.6 percent strikeout rate, so he'll need to turn it around if the team is going to consider him for a call-up to the majors. The former first-rounder hit 17 home runs and stole 34 bases a season ago, so there is a lot to like about his fantasy potential, and his positional versatility should offer multiple paths to playing time, but fantasy managers will likely have to wait until sometime in the second half before the 22-year-old makes his big league debut. As such, the right-handed hitter doesn't warrant stash consideration in most leagues at the moment.
